MEDINA

Authorities say a former deputy sheriff who worked at a jail is accused of felonious assault and other crimes because he turned a blind eye while four inmates attacked an accused sex offender.

Brian Young, 29, also faces charges of abduction, dereliction of duty and unauthorized use of property in the alleged assault at the Medina County jail in December.
